The Science Museum

General 

Elliott was good for most of today. However we went shopping quickly to Asda in the morning to buy rolls for lunch and he got very upset that we didn't "borrow a toy", even though I told him we'd be borrowing one later when we went to the Science Museum. In the end I had to leave Andrea to buy the shopping and take him out for a time out on a bench in the mall outside Asda. It took him about 5 minutes to sit down properly for the time out, but after he did he said sorry for being silly and admitted that silly behaviour didn't get him what he wanted. 

Activities

In the morning we played at Andrea's flat, watched some Sonic, did some drawing and went to Asda for elevenses and to get some rolls for a packed lunch on our way to London. 

In the afternoon we went with Andrea to London to meet with Hilary Weale, my Godmother's daughter, and we all went to The Science Museum. This was a really good afternoon. There was lots to see and do and lots of button's to press. He especially enjoyed the space section, a section with some trains, cars and aeroplanes and the interactive basement that is like a swisher version of The Look Out. We also had some tea there and borrowed some a bag of space toys - figures and little rockets - as he seemed very inspired by space exploration. After our visit Elliott and I drove down to Downton to see Granny again and stay over for the evening.
